Nick Weiler = Ice Cold water in his veins!
UNC kicker Nick Weiler is riding high on cloud nine and it’s Carolina blue. Weiler nailed a field goal at the end of regulation to win Saturday’s game against Florida State.
This took place after his previous extra point was blocked on a UNC touchdown drive.
Moreover, Weiler’s winning field goal kick was a career-best 54 yards.
Weiler had reason to choke on this play. He overcame a field goal block and he kicked a field goal from a distance that he had never done in the past.
In addition, Weiler’s kick is the second-longest field goal in UNC’s history. The longest field goal belongs to Dan Orner, who kicked a 55-yarder against Syracuse in 2002.
On top of having a high-octane offense, North Carolina has a field goal kicker who is clutch when it counts – at the end of the game.
